Liberty County is a trove of historic and natural treasures. With a little bit of something for everyone, you’re sure to enjoy yourself. Kayak along the coastal waterways at Dunham Farms, the oldest plantation in Georgia still remaining with its original family. They still have the original King’s grant paperwork! Explore beneath the sweeping Live Oaks and stroll through the camellias & azaleas at the Bacon Fraser house, an almost 200-year-old plantation plain style jewel in the heart of Hinesville. Dine on fresh, Wild Georgia shrimp or Ossabaw oysters--of course locally caught--at the Sunbury Crab Company, all while you take in the watercolor sunsets on the coast.
Experience the historic gems that lie within our borders dating back to Georgia’s Colonial times. Stand where Revolutionary War soldiers, signers of the Declaration of Independence, and Martin Luther King Jr. once stood, all in Liberty County. Discover the forgotten town of Sunbury, the national telephone museum, and historic schools. Ride along tree-lined roads dating back hundreds of years. Your choices to explore are endless!
We’d love to show y’all around, or just have you come sit on the front porch and visit with us a while! We’ll have a glass of sweet tea and a nice comfy swing waiting for you!
